MIDDLEBORO—The Oak Point Homeowners Scholarship Association will hold its 13 annual yard sale on Saturday, May 5 (rain or shine) at 200 Oak Point Drive. The yard sale will be held in the east side Parking lot of the Clubhouse, from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Three 40-foot containers filled with "goodies" are now waiting to be unloaded for the big day.

All proceeds go to scholarships for Middleboro High School graduates.

The criteria for the scholarships is set by the MHS Guidance Office. In the past 12 years The Scholarship Association has awarded 93 scholarships totaling $96,000.

"The variety and quality of items are what keep bringing people back year after year," said a spokesperson for the yard sale committee. "There is always a bargain to be had and hopefully a treasure to be found. These items include garden tools, furniture; house goods, clothing, books, frames and pictures, TV's, electronics, and more."

There will also be many items to be raffled off, (many of these are made by our homeowners). These include Red Sox tickets, gift certificates for massages, ceramic pieces, facials, a child's painted stool, a handmade flag and handmade pocketbook. One does not have to be in attendance to win, but everyone should make sure their name and telephone is on the tickets deposited in the appropriate boxes.
